Patricroft
It is claimed locally that the Queen's Arms at Patricroft is the world's first trackside pub, built in 1828 to serve the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. (This is disputed as a pub in Darlington was built the year before). What is now the pub car park was the original L&M trackbed, later the slow lines after quadrupling. Those lines are now lifted and the surviving two tracks are a little further away from the pub, behind a palisade fence. This view looks towards Patricroft station and Manchester.
